On Thursday, November 2 Bingo-boy trekked to the beautiful Parker Palm Springs Hotel and was immediately swallowed up by television cameras recording his every movement. It was all part of an episode of a soon-to-be-seen reality show on Bravo called "Welcome To The Parker." Seems that the hotel wanted to put on a fundraising event and had heard the legend of "Legendary Bingo" from places afar. Bridgette Of Madison County (a part-time Bingo Hostess) and the lovely Miss Coco Peru (remember her from "Trick" and "Girls Will Be Girls"?) were already on the property (which is breathtaking) and getting ready to call the balls that night.
The event took place on a beautiful patio and all of the Palm Springs bingo faithful turned up in their finest clothes (it's amazing how quickly the good wardrobe comes out when television exposure looms...). The event benefited a hate crime documentary program and a gay youth program in Palm Springs. And it rocked!
Now some pics from the event:
Bridgette and Coco offered the crowd the closest thing to "Lucy and Ethel Call Bingo Balls" that they will ever see. Their back and forth snipes were over-the-top hilarious and luckily recorded by the cameras. Can't wait for the show to air!
Friends Andy and Tiger Lily brought their friends Allie and Pinky. Pinky is the black one and Allie is the one showing her...harness.
The Palm Springs Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence were on hand to sell bingo cards, drink, seat people, drink and drink. Those nuns love their sacramental wine!
Palm Springs bingo freak Gregory brought two lovely ladies and they toasted to their good luck. And then didn't win a darned thing.
